An amended Prevention Of Corruption Bill will be back in Parliament in the new year, legislation will be drafted to facilitate whistleblowing, and a Freedom of Information Bill is to be completed, Marshall told participating in an online forum Wednesday entitled The Fight Against Corruption In Barbados.
